Green Elephant

​A Green Elephant Delight in Portsmouth, NH ​My recent family visit to the Green Elephant in Portsmouth, NH was a great experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were impressed by the great vibe & ambience, which created a perfect atmosphere for a family dinner to celebrate birthday. ​A key highlight of the restaurant is its entirely vegetarian menu, which offers a creative and diverse selection of dishes. The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and prompt throughout our meal. ​We started with a couple of appetizers, the vegetable dumplings and Thai curry puffs, which were a welcome and tasty variation on vegan cuisine. For our main courses, we shared the basil fried rice, ginger Thai noodles, and panang curry. Each dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and satisfying. ​Overall, the combination of great food, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere makes Green Elephant a standout spot. I highly recommend a visit to this restaurant for any vegan or vegetarian in the area looking for a top-notch dining experience.

July 2025: My husband and I were in Portsmouth, NH for one night and we were looking for a healthy dinner option and a few locals recommended dining at Green Elephant. One girl said the food was "so yummy" and after dining there, we have to agree! We started with the Thai Curry Puffs, vegetable dumplings, and coconut soup. The Thai curry puffs were so good! I loved the taste and texture of the flaky pastry shell. The vegetable dumplings were also a hit, although my husband wished they were served warm and not cold. The coconut soup was my favorite! Sooo flavorful, creamy, and it smelled amazing. If you like coconut milk, you have to order this soup! For dinner we shared the Pad Thai and the Thai Ginger Noodles. Both were amazing and we liked to mixing them together. I asked for some spicy red sauce on the side to give the dishes that extra sweet and spicy kick. Highly recommend!

Visited this restaurant during our family Fall foliage road trip. Highly recommend this for vegans/vegetarians! Took green curry and Pa-nang curry, they were both delicious. We like spicy food and green curry had the exact spice we were expecting. Their dumplings were equally delicious too!

This is my favourite restaurant ever. I think I come here too much. I have way too many pics because Green Elephant has taken over my camera roll. I'm addicted to the Thai Ginger Noodles. I think that's all I need to say.

Excellent apps, good food, decent drinks. Good service. Love that it’s a fully vegetarian restaurant. Seating is nice as well. Conveniently located.

Vegetarians Paradise!!! We went to Green Elephant restaurant today based on my son's recommendation and the fact that all members of the family are vegetarians. This is a paradise if you are a vegetarian!!! The dishes here are thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. We started with Nightshade and Pomegranate Mojito for non alcoholic drinks, followed by Brussel Sprouts and Roti Chanai for appetizers, and Panang Curry and Singapore Noodles for main dish!! Even meat eaters will find the flavors satisfying and crave worthy because the flavors, atmosphere and friendly staff plus the location makes you feel good. Lovely place and will visit again!!!

A Delicious Dilemma at The Green Elephant 🌿🐘 The menu at The Green Elephant is so packed with mouthwatering options, I found myself in a full-blown foodie crisis — everything sounded amazing! 😍 It was a hot day in Portsmouth, so I cooled down with the incredibly refreshing DayTripper Spritz — a dreamy blend of Aperol, Handshake Amaro, prosecco, peach, and soda water. Light, fizzy, and dangerously sippable. 🍑✨ My friend and I started with the Thai curry puffs (OMG, do not skip these — crispy, flavorful perfection) and steamed edamame to share while we continued our menu deliberation. After much soul-searching, my friend landed on one of the mushroom specials (I missed the name — I was too wrapped up in my own entrée journey 😅). As for me? I went with the Siamese Dream Curry Noodles, and let me tell you: what a dream it was. Rich, fragrant, and full of bold Thai flavor. You get to choose your heat level from 0 to 4 — I went with a gentle level 1, prioritizing flavor over fire, and it was absolutely perfect. A huge shout out to our server Nick who was so gracious and made us feel right at home! A++ service! Everything from the flavors to the friendly vibe made this a top-notch experience. Can’t wait to come back and try the dishes I didn’t get to — and maybe next time, I’ll be brave enough to try level 2. 😉

I can’t say enough about this place. Top notch food, service, atmosphere. The Green Elephant is a beautifully designed, plant-filled (literally and figuratively) restaurant serving quality vegetarian cuisine. It’s filled with warm wood tones making it an inviting place to have a relaxing dinner or happy hour. I was in town for the IFPA Women’s World Pinball Championships and this place was legit around the corner from my hotel. Their menu looked fantastic despite being a carnivore, sometimes I like to switch it up. It was worth the switch for two different occasions. My first trek I snuck in for some happy hour snacks and a beverage. The gyoza was sooo good. So good. And for $5 during happy hour? Shut. Up. Had I known they’d be that good, I would’ve had two orders. They come with a dipping sauce which was flavorful yet mild alongside a spicy thicker sauce for some contingent dipping based off your spice tolerance. My second dish I tried was a curry pastry of sorts. Cannot recall then name but it was a 2 piece set up that had a cucumber dipping sauce. While I was expecting more of a raita cucumber sauce, what came out wasn’t that but it still worked well with the dish. After another night I was craving the green curry I saw on the menu but didn’t have time for prior. It’s a massive portion — easily could have been 2-3 meals for me (I’m a grazer so smaller plates are more my speed). Divine. Coconut based and I got the minimum spice which was enough but I could’ve went to level 2 I think but that’d be my max personally. Would definitely come back if I was in town again. And if you’ve not been or doubt that vegetarian cuisine can be as satisfying as a meat-based dish, challenge yourself. You’ll enjoy it here, I promise.

Delicious spot for some cozy Thai food. Lemongrass chicken, tom yum soup...spring rolls..pad thai all amazing

Green elephant is excellent for food and service - Roti canai - 5/5 Curry puffs - 5/5 Siemese noodles - it's one of my favorite items but it lacked veggies first and then when they added veggies it lacked sauce - it was also not spicy which is a bummer / hopefully they fix it for next time

Almost everything is vegan, or can be made so, and Oh. So. Delicious!! One of our fave meals all week long We ate dinner on a Friday night, and my only complaint is how LOUD the place was. The all wood interior seemed to amplify the sound. Def not a quiet, romantic or date night place, at least on the weekend. We could barely hear our server, and forget talking to each other. That being said, the service was outstanding, and the food was, every bite, phenomenal! For an appetizer, we ordered the King Trumpet Oyster Mushroom Tempura, and received a HUGE bowl of delicately crispy mushroom bites with a delicious light sauces to dip it in that took the savory factor up a million degrees! SO GOOD, I can't recc it enough! We had the Spicy Vegetable Stir Fry, at a spice level 3/4, which had a red curry sauce and tofu "meat" that was out of this world! I had a Green Curry Bowl loaded with green veggies, and spicy hot at 4/4. It was heat hot as well, which was perfect for the cold night. Overall, the food was some of the best we ate anywhere in Portsmouth, with service that equaled the best anywhere else. Don't miss out on such a fab place to eat - just find a quieter time to visit!

Took me a few days to discover this location on a recent trip! Once I did, I kept returning. It was like being in Europe but the pastries have a Mediterranean flare. I had feta honey bun thingy. I also had a Kalamata olive bread which I paired with some Brie & salami later on. They make a perfect cortado. They get busy, so if there's something you're interested in, better get there early

The ambiance and service here was great. Actually the service was impeccable and we had a party of 10 so I was impressed by that. We also had some vegans, some non-vegans and some people who were gluten free people in the group and they were able to accommodate everyone nicely so that was great. BUT the food was lacking in flavor. Everything was pretty bland which was disappointing for Thai food except for the mocktails which were really nice. The food really needs more flavor as well as spice. I also think the prices were a bit on the high side.

My daughter likes this place so we made it a foursome with her husband and Mimsy. I was a little unenthused because I'm not a vegetarian. I assumed it would be dissatisfying but I was wrong. The food was delicious, atmosphere was great and the service was spot-on. I walked out of there feeling very full and happy. Mai tais were good too. So, if you think a vegetarian restaurant will be a drag, give them a try and have a great meal.

Good food and large portions for the price. Service was a little slow but friendly and the restaurant was pretty and comfortable!

The service was good, but the food was terrible. The Deep Fried Vegetarian Spring Rolls were good, though a bit oily, but our entrees were nearly inedible because the sauces were so sweet and syrupy. This was the worst Thai-inspired food I have ever eaten because the dishes were so sweet. They should have reduced the amount of sauce added or offered it on the side.

Outstanding vegetarian restaurant with a liquor license. Had the vegetable dumplings and edamame. Loved them. The alcohol drinks are great as are the kombucha mocktails.

If you're vegan, vegetarian, and/or a gluten free glutard, this could be the perfect place for you. Our experience here the first time was so good that when friends suggested it we didn't hesitate to say yes. It's a great place to meet up and at least try to hang out for awhile. The only thing that prevents that is the type of seat. It's a square piece of wood that is not contoured in any way, making it very difficult to spend any amount of time there, especially when you have no butt. I liken it to sitting on a concrete slab. Maybe it's deliberate to get you in and out in the shortest period of time possible. Full bar with an array of wine and beer to make and keep everyone happy. I and my mate had the same thing and were very happy. It's a simple dish. Steamed Assorted Vegetables with Peanut Sauce: Broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, corn, snow peas, carrot, green beans, and steamed tofu. Vegan and gluten free. Service was attentive and friendly so no problem there. It can get a bit loud when it crowds up so just beware of that. Overall a great experience and the prices are still reasonable post COVID. It appeared to be adequately staffed. Very high on the recommend list.

We really enjoy the Green Elephant, even though we are not vegetarian. The menu takes plenty of nods from Thai cuisine, the staff is always nice and friendly and the food delicious. On our most recent visit, we stopped in for lunch. It seems they do not offer a lunch menu, but the dinner menu is varied enough that you can pick and choose to scale down to a delicious lunch. We started with a few appetizers, a very delicious version of "Curry puffs", with light flaky dough and a delicious filling that did not overwhelm with the curry flavor. The Singapore noodles were enough to share for two people, especially at lunch time. Lot's of fresh vegetables, and crunchy fried tofu. I like that you can customize the heat level for most dishes. While we did not have alcoholic beverages, they do have a full bar and creative cocktails which we have enjoyed when visiting for dinner.

Nice clientele, nice light fixture, cool vibe upon walking in. My friends and I were walking around Portsmouth and wanted to grab a light dinner before a long drive back to VT. We each ordered something different: chive pockets, Singapore noodles, samosa appetizer, and peanut curry. This was definitely a trendy place with eclectic Asian fusion.

We tried Green Elephant after a movie and it was delicious. We went with kids and there was no problem- it was busy but expectations were well managed. The best parts of the appetizers were all excellent: really enjoyed the tempura oyster mushrooms, the curry puffs the best. The quay teow Malaysian noodles were also excellent. The peanut curry was not bad but it was sweeter than expected - but the veggies inside were delicious. The food is good so even if not a vegetarian you'll forget that quickly after a few bites! The wine on special was also excellent. Will go back!

This place never disappoints. I had the spicy greens salad and was impressed by the portion size. I was torn on what to order for a dessert but the waiter recommend the fried banana with coconut ice cream. He suggested adding chocolate sauce for a sundae flavor and it was next level!

I visit Green Elephant whenever we are in the area, but it really is worth it's own trip. Every single menu item is brilliantly crafted and executed at the absolute highest quality. From the tenderness of the seitan 'spare ribs' to the crispy delicate oyster mushroom tempura, no detail is left unspoken. The offer of inspired mocktails and craft n/a beer is enough to make this beautiful location perfect for any occasion. The staff is brilliant and kind. The Green Elephant really delivers. Pro tip. They're coffee is served in its own individual French press and they offer coconut cream!

Omg YUM, the atmosphere, the service, the appetizers, cocktails...stop! We had 4 entrees one was my favorite outstanding dish, my second favorite was the best thing I have ever eaten. Third and fourth favorites were incredibly yummy. In other words, you can not go wrong.!! My family and I want to eat our way through the entire menu.

We picked up food at Green Elephant two days ago. The parking situation is horrible. Spots are all metered, and there are only a couple that are near the restaurant. I appreciate there are vegan options, but The food is really expensive for what you get. I got the veggie "spare rib". I don't know on what planet the soy meat is anything like spare ribs. There wasn't much of the soy meat. It came with oversauced veggies and brown rice. It tasted okay but was not worth the price or parking. My daughter got five soy nuggets for $9. We get better nuggets from the grocery store. She only had one bite. My husband wasn't blown away by his dish either.

Terrible Sunday Night Dinner Our Sunday night dinner was definitely a huge disappointment. I wanted to treat my family to a nice dinner, but we didn't feel like going out and we loved the Green Elephant so I decided to place a delivery order through a third-party. The food arrived, and we opened the bag and discovered the 2/3 of my son's meal was missing. He only had plain white noodles to eat. It was very apparent that the restaurant did not check the order before giving it to the Uber delivery person. The obviously new person answering the phone at the front desk was unapologetic and not helpful. I had to call back twice. The first time, after asking for the manager, she disconnected me. I called back to tell her that I was disconnected and she laughed. She was clearly distracted and did not want to help me and was giggly on both of our calls. Peter, the manager was not helpful at all either. He was quick to pass the blame to Uber Eats "it's the third-party fault" he repeated numerous times or even made it sound like it was my fault for ordering through a third-party company. Maybe they shouldn't do business with a third-party company if they're just going to blame everybody else. But I do not put blame on Uber Eats - the bag was sealed when it arrived. The Uber Eats delivery person did not take my food out of the bag and not deliver it to me. I'm pretty sure that. It was clearly the Green Elephant's fault for not getting my order correct and handing it off to a delivery person. And, I had zero recourse; the restaurant can't deliver my food, I can't reach out to the Uber Eats driver to go back to get my food and I'm certainly not going to drive to the restaurant after I just paid a premium to have my food delivered. Green Elephant you were totally at fault, you should have checked my order before handing it over to a third-party and your front desk staff and manager should try to be a little bit more friendly and professional and not giggle when they hang up on you. So yes, by the time I got to Peter the manager, I was not happy. Lesson learned.

Yum yum yum!! We all need veggies and Green Elephant delivers in the most delicious ways. Thank you staff for another birthday celebration, quiet and unspoken is my sons way, at the best restaurant for vegan food we have found. They take the meat but BOY DO THEY ADD FLAVOR! Get there, you want to save room for the chocolate cake, Wowza!

They have pineapple fried rice that is so delicious I crave it every time I drive by. If you don't drink alcohol just stick with water because the sodas are way over priced. They're in cans so there's no free or even cheap refills. Service has been great every time I've gone. They have room for big groups too which is nice.

This place is highly recommended online/in social media amongst the vegan friendly places in New Hampshire. I was so excited to try them reading such positive reviews. We were here during lunch time on a weekend and the place was tightly packed. They wouldn't take reservation through phone and it's first come first serve. Luckily, we didn't have to wait for long to get a table. The employees were very warm and the service was impeccable. We ordered a bunch of items (sorry I was so excited and hungry, so forgot to click pictures of everything). It's a vegetarian place, so some of the dishes may have egg, they will easily skip the eggs upon request. We ordered some appetizers like spring rolls, tofu nuggets, roti - masman curry, curry puffs and pine apple fried rice (without the egg) and basil fried rice. Both the fried rice tasted delicious and the appetizers were good. The only dish that could have been better is the roti massaman, the roti was super crunchy almost to the point of being so sharp, the curry was oily. Other than that, I loved everything else. Overall, I highly recommend the place.

First off, I'm a meat eater, married to a vegetarian. She isn't vegan, like this restaurant puts forward, but felt it was pretty safe, that she would find good food here as a vegetarian. I went, was skeptical, and was surprised. I still don't believe for a second that fake meat taste like meat. No one who actually eats meat would believe that, but if you can get that out of your head, the food here is actually excellent! If you are like me and eat meat at every meal, you can still find something edible here. This is a very good place to find a decent, healthy, awesome meal.

First time we were e here. My wife is not vegan but she liked it also. Two mains and the brussel sprouts app were all lovely. We got takeout but the restaurant looked nice inside.

It's nice to have a vegetarian option in Portsmouth but to be honest it was just okay. Restaurant was noisy and felt like we were being rushed through. We got our bill before we were done eating and after we told our sever that we were still eating. We did really like the daily appetizer special, Curry Puffs, but one of them was cold.

So so so good! Highly recommend this place. We had to wait a bit for a table but it was worth it! I got the pad thai, and it was so delicious. Definitely will return.

Always a solid place to land for dinner. Never leave disappointed. Food is veg and they do a great job making things pop with flavor and filling. Service is usually great. Ambiance is a little loud at times but always full of life.

This place was recommended to me by someone who used to live in Portsmouth. The vibe is very classy and formal but there is no enforced dress code. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and the food is exceptional quality. The servers were kind and quick to refill my glass of water. I paid about $10 for the roti and curry. The roti was very crispy and it was a wonderful appetizer. The curry was a bit more watery than I would've liked but it was still flavorful. I got the Siamese dream curry noodles as my main dish for $18. It was amazing and the thick coconut curry sauce was an amazing combination of savory, sweet, and spicy. The soy meat was a pleasant surprise and the other vegetables were soft enough to bite into. This is great because a lot of places have vegetables that are too hard. The noodles were beneath this layer of crispy rice noodles and were quite refreshing. The total was about $30 which is a bit pricey but the quality of the food and the ambience justify the cost. I will come back again and I'm not even vegetarian/vegan. This shows the power of plants when combined with great cooking techniques and proper seasoning.

Hands down the best vegan/vegetarian place I have ever been to. I have nut allergies, so It is always a gamble to go to vegan places, but they are very cautious when you notify them of an allergy. The thai fried rice and green curry are to die for!! They do a good job of having a rotating special menu and they always have a drink of the day/week. The cocktail menu is shockingly one of the best in the downtown Portsmouth area (and they have happy hour 4-6).

Vegan food that isn't just a small cafe open until 2:00pm. Everything we had was delicious - especially the Siamese Dream Curry Noodles. Also had Peanut Curry, Goji Berry Noodles, Veggie Citrus Spare Ribs, Thai Curry Puffs and King Oyster Mushroom Tempura.

Always has great service, chill atmosphere, great food! It's nice to have a restaurant that offers vegan and gluten free options. Especially having celiac disease, it's comforting to know they take your allergies seriously. Love coming here whenever I'm in the area!

This place never disappoints! Service and food is always top notch. We have had Nick as our server a couple of times over the past year or two. I so appreciate their genuine approach to service. Super friendly, but doesn't feel fake. As always, the food was exactly what we wanted. Best restaurant in downtown Portsmouth!

A friend and I were in Portsmouth for a concert and decided to try Green Elephant. It was busy, but we got a table in about 10 minutes. The interior is nicer than we were expecting: dim, warm lighting, lots of wood and clean lines. Our waitress was friendly. We got two dishes to share: peanut curry (with tofu instead of soy-meat, because my friend is gluten-free) and pad thai. We were asked what spice level we wanted on a scale of 0-4, so we chose 2 for both. That ended up being perfect. The food had a nice kick, but not so much that my mouth was on fire. This was comfort food done really well. The pad thai had a certain smokiness that neither of us could quite identify but both adored. The noodle-to-vegetable ratio was good, and the sauce was mild with a nice, subtly sweet tang. The peanut curry was thick and filled with sweet potatoes, fried tofu (good-sized, crispy pieces), chickpeas (an interesting addition), and carrots. We were awed by the carrots in particular. They were cooked to tender perfection and soaked up the curry beautifully. We were shocked by how much we loved Green Elephant and by how reasonable the prices were. My only complaint is that it isn't closer to home.

We had delicious dumplings and I really liked my Pad Thai. It was cooked perfectly and had lots of veggies. The sauce was amazing. My husband enjoyed his Singapore noodles. The restaurant is very nice inside. Service was great. We would definitely comeback.

This was my second visit to Green Elephant. I definitely recommend the restaurant. The brussel sprouts are heavenly! This time I didn't actually care for my meal. I got the steamed veggies with tofu & peanut sauce. The sauce was cloyingly sweet and there were like 5 little cubes of tofu. Overall though, their food is good and the atmosphere is lovely.

The food was outstanding, especially orange chocolate mousse dessert! The service very efficient, friendly and informative. Earthly fresh ambiance appreciated. Even my "not typically vegetarian" husband found the food quite tasty with perfect sized portions. I'll be back again soon.

We always have a great meal at the Green Elephant. Perfect for a night out and our go to place to bring people when they are visiting us. The food and flavors are well thought out and developed. The staff are always friendly and have great recommendations if you have not tried this type of food before. I would highly suggest you give the Green Elephant a try.

Enjoyed my meal at the Green Elephant. My wife and I had two appetizers, green curry, and spicy stir fry. All were delicious! Was happy to be given a choice of spice level, 1 to 4 or 911. The reception, wait, and kitchen staff all were polite and prompt. Great place for vegan or vegetarian diets.

The Quick: Amazing food (lots of vegan options), delicious cocktails, and big portions. Staff is friendly and the location is great. Highly recommend!

After reading the excellent reviews for this place, I must confess I was a touch dubius - I'm a die-hard Carnivore, and don't usually appreciate meatless dining. However, my friend is a vegan and convinced me to join him with the certain reassurance of one of Green Elephant's regulars. Bottom line - this place is completely legit, and their food is absolutely amazing! Once I put my initial doubts aside, I have to say that they're doing everything right here. The ambiance is lovely, the menu is broadly creative, the service is first rate, and the prices are great considering the overall quality of the food :-) My friend and I ate at the bar, which has less than a dozen seats, an excellent selection of killer cocktails, and bustling, fun vibe. Now let's talk about what they do best here - the food!! To sum it up, if you're a fan of curries and/or Asian Fusion and you haven't yet dined here, you owe it to yourself to visit without further delay :-)

Really, really so-good-you-don't-miss-the-meat vegetarian food. It is Asian influenced with Thai curries, etc. featured. I have yet to try to so-called "spare ribs" but apparently they are hard to tell from the real thing. There is a good selection of micro-brews represented, and the house cocktail selection is excellent and extremely tasty. Attractive decor and attentive staff round this out for a can't-miss dining option.

One of the best Vegan Asian-fusion restaurant's I have ever tried. It was a little crowded and had to eat at the bar to avoid a 1-1/2 hour wait as all the tables had been booked (note at this time tables can be reserved, however it normally doesn't have bookings and is on a first come first seated option). Started with some vegetable dumplings, light and fresh, then had the Panang Curry Vegetable & Tempeh with Thai eggplant, red peppers, green peppers, zucchini, broccoli, carrots, buttercup squash, Thai basil and lime leaves in a Panang coconut milk curry. Served with jasmine brown rice. Then topped it all off with a deep fried banana and coconut vanilla ice cream. Very pleasant atmosphere with well stocked bar with a bartender that knows how to mix some crafted cocktails.

Great food Vegetarian Delicious drinks Very inviting environment Happy hour deals are well priced

I am not vegan but I must say this restaurant could change my mind. Food was fabulous as was the service and ambience. Another great option in Portsmouth NH

Nick, our server, was gracious and patient. It was a first date and I was nervous! (on valentines day. like bowie would say...under pressure). Mocktails were effervescent, music mild, and pea samosas crispy. Brilliant lighting and fixtures. eating my tom yum soup for lunch today. If describing the flavors of the restaurant, it would be even-keeled. Nothing will sting your nose, burn your palate, nor outrage your entrails. the food is solid, but the service and atmosphere are more memorable. savoring the first date memories. peace.

Vegan vegetarian yes yes yum yum yum I went with the curry puffs, chive dumplings,and pineapple fried rice had it delivered thru Uber eats and it was worth the wait food was worth it tasty authentic Asian food with zero worry that meat could be in it so good I even double checked ingredients the dipping sauces are lite and aromatic better than anything I've ever made at home I'd eat here every day if i could afford to they have ever favor on deck and even though it's a holiday weekend it arrived hot and delicious thank you Chef menu is great eat it all

Stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting for the weekend and everything about our experience was just amazing!! My mom is a vegetarian and I eat a dairy - free based diet so this was the perfect place for us as it caters to those food restrictions. First, the whole vibe there is really cool & such an aesthetically pleasing set up. The food satisfied us just as much - we got the spring rolls and roti for an appetizer and then the green curry with tofu and char guay teow for our entrees. The green curry was exceptional and the char guay teow was really tasty as well. I'd say green curry is a must if you like curry. We also got the ginger mint tea & winterwarming chai and both were great!

Veggie food wonderful. Curries are great check it out, it has great food. I would definitely try the place..

It's Everything and more! Fun, food, drinks, people, clean, kind, perfection! What a great team, serving exceptional dishes!

It's really expensive. I got the veggie dumplings and they were good, but it was $9 for 5 dumplings. Yikes. Okay, they were good. The Thai Basil rice is very greasy and sweet. Not good for $15. The veggie sturdy with brown rice was also not great. The veggies were not cut with care. There were stems and bits if you were cooking you were throw in the trash. I would not ever spend $40 there again.
